Good food, better than just "pub food". Standards like fish and chips and steaks but also very good seafood , hake with chorizo chowder was delicious. Staff very friendly and accommodating.
Staff lovely, but very disappointed on my last visit we waited nearly 1 hour for mains,only to send back 4 of them back. Reselected and given free puddings. This was my Mum's Birthday so I left feeling upset.
The food was excellent.service superb,the atmosphere and surroundings second to none.The place was recommended by a friend and I would have no problem in recommending Monro"s to anyone.
The golden crisp surfaced hake is perfect with orange coloured creme and the combination of sautéed bacon and roast potatoes and green beens is voluptuously dialect. A fantastic main course!
Never fails to impress. Fab atmosphere & delicious food. For the sunday menu its such good value 3 courses for under £20! Cant wait to go back!
Good set price lunch, good value for money. Tasty food. The team also catered well for my gluten and dairy intolerances even though I cheated a little. Brownie was extra tasty.
They serve good food well cooked and presented at a good price freindly staff there is a wide range of beer and wines served in a comfortable atmosphere
A great place, nice inside. The table was perfect for our requirements. The staff were very accommodating and fantastic. Highly recommended! Big fat A plus!
Mid week early autumn evening - went as a couple and shared the dining area with two "business" groups. Lovely log fire, attentive but not overbearing service, and nicely cooked and presented fresh food - all round pretty good!
Fantastic food at very reasonable prices and what pleased me was the tables are nicely spaced apart. Very cosy atmosphere with very efficient service levels. Will use again and recommend
A great night, good food, fab service with warm friendly staff. Excellent value for money in a very cosy environment, many thanks, will definitely be dining with you again!
Just had lovely lunch, great haddock and chips, ambience just right, excellent wine, opened a bottle of sweet wine for two glasses just for us, friendly staff and great food!
Had a a cheese soufflé starter followed by fish and chips .The starter was more flaccid than pert however the fish tasted really fresh and the tartare sauce with mushy peas enhanced it nicely .For six diners the bill was £160 and this included two bottles of wine and a few beers and bacardis .More than reasonable price in a great pub environment .Great experience look forward to dining there again .
Was lovely but was disappointed one of the dishes on the menu was unavailable. There was no steak available due to them awaiting a delivery.
Excellent evening with first class food. Staff were curious and the atmosphere was great. Pity there was no bitter on draft this particular evening though.
Relaxing atmosphere drinking wine by the crackling log fire. Quick and friendly service and most importantly, absolutely amazing food! Perfect at christmas. Woul highly recommend!
Lovely staff, great food and really nice atmosphere. If you're going to the theatre or a show give yourself a good hour and a half at the weekend as it gets busy.
starter prawn cocktail bland main course and service very good
The Sunday lunch menu was excellent only pity they had run out of one of starters. The surrounding is lovely and the service was excellent well worth a visit.
The service was good, the food was very nice and there was a great selection to choose from I would recommend a visit to the monro
Booked for lunch at the Monro, the food was excellent and reasonably priced and the staff are friendly and efficient We chose to move into the bar area after we finished our meal and sat by a lovely open fire. The Monro is a real gem and I will definitely return.
We had a lovely lunch, nice cosy pub, not at all rushed, stayed for almost 3 hours. Good value and excellent quality food, pleased to see 3 veggie options for mains which makes a very welcome change from many other similar venues
A truly lovely meal will be returning and recommending. A very good menu excellent derive and a fantastic atmosphere. A wonderful cocktail menu and a very good choice of wine
Excellent service and very friendly staff. Ambience great but food a little over rated with extremely small starter portion. Had log fire menu. All in all, pleasant afternoon but food slightly disappointing.
Delicious food and plenty of it. 2 course Sunday lunch for £16.50 loads of beef and freshly roasted vegetables. We were seated as soon as we arrived (booked for 3.30 got there 10 mins early). Would recommend that you book 'cos it was very busy but this didn't detract from the excellent service that we received. A1 all round
Reasonable enough food; service was ok although could have been friendlier
All the good stuff first. Setting. Service. Menu. Ambience. Our waitress hit the spot. She was friendly, efficient and always knew when to disappear and reappear. The scallops were few but delicious. The accompanying pea brûlée and raisins were a bonus. The hake was okay but the accompanying veg and chorizo added a blast of taste to that main course. The goat cheese was a very good starter. The partridge was tasty, too. There was room for one sticky toffee pudding. We shared it and, again, it was spot on. Nice ice cream on top. Putting everything together, it was a fine meal wel served.
Excellent food and service. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Our meals were well cooked and beautifully presented. We would definitely recommend The Monro.
Booked the Monro for a special family get together after online research, but was disappointed if I'm honest. Our table felt like an extra one fitted in by the kitchen door, so our surroundings did not feel very grand, and it was really noisy, and I couldn't really hear much that my son was saying opposite me. 3 of us had starters which were just average. 2 of us had the fillet steak main, which I have to say was lovely and everything I had hoped for as I don't order it very often. The lamb was enjoyed by the other 2, but it was very pink and very 'nouvelle' on the plate so not for someone expecting a huge lamb dinner. 3 of us had puddings, 2 sticky toffee, which again was very average, not as nice as the cartmel ones in foil trays that I sometimes buy. Overall sorry to say, we were disappointed, as it was an expensive meal for us £146 for 4, (including drinks, but only 1 glass of wine, 2 people on cokes only!) and I have had much better value delicious food elsewhere. I won't be going back. Sorry to be negative but this was our honest experience.
Lovely meal as usual with friendly staff. The fish was cooked perfectly with a seafood risotto and the rack of lamb was perfect. We have been here many times and have never been disappointed.
Went with friends for a catch up. Had the house white wine which was lovely, and at less than £5 for a 175ml glass I wasn't expecting anything amazing, but was pleasantly surprised! I had the Fish Sharing Platter as my main, which was lovely and super tasty. There was a lovely relaxed atmosphere. I would definitely go here again.
Lovely place, fantastic food, great staff, well worth a visit...I've enjoyed the experience each time I've visited, the food impresses every time...if you choose to visit ask if they have strawberry cheesecake it is to die for the best I've tasted.
Once again the food and service were fantastic.... The staff were once again extremely efficient and most of all friendly and made you feel very welcome
Lovely lunch at the Monro through the week. Relaxed atmosphere, great service. Lots of options on the menu. Discovered a new Cocktail! :) looking forward to next visit.
The fact I keep going back here is proof of how much I love. Whenever we have a special occasion, birthdays etc the munro is top of our list. Friendly staff, good atmosphere and excellent food. What more can you ask for.
Cosy gastropub serving tasty and interesting British inspired meals. Good selection of ales and beers. Look out for the cocktail specials. Most of the staff really friendly and helpful.
Been here a few times now excellent service excellent food never had a problem with anything would highly recommend to try this place will Deffo be going again
Food was absolutely gorgeous and staff first class. Total experience was wonderful overall. Would definitely go back and dine here again. Will recommend to friends as well
The setting was pleasant and the service was good, with a longish wait for the second round of drinks. The reviews I had read were very positive regarding the food quality but I found the Roast not up to standard. I had the veggie option as did my husband and the nut roast was beautiful but the vegetables were not good. Roast potatoes were very hard and dry and the parsnips were tough. I will visit again but not for the Sunday menu. Thank you for your time and for this opportunity to feedback.
Good food using local produce but the excellent cottage pie with the sweet potato topping as a side dish with the duck truly deserves to be a main all on its own!
